A new gate city was built about a hundred steps in front of Dashan Pass. The area of Xinguan City was wider than Dashanguan Pass, and the city wall was one foot higher than Dashanguan Pass. It was condescending to Dashanguan Pass.
There were 30,000 gold soldiers stationed in Xinguan City. There were no tents and the barracks were all built with bricks and stones. Wanyan Wushu recruited 20,000 craftsmen and it took half a year to build the city.
From the day Xinguan City was built, the Jin soldiers carried out repressive attacks on Dashan Pass. They used gunpowder arrows and long-distance trebuchets to attack Dashan Pass almost every day, regardless of day or night.
After more than a month of continuous attacks, the Song army's morale was generally low and they had lost all confidence in holding the pass.
In the commander's tent, Wu Jie was pacing back and forth distractedly. Liu Zan, the guard at Beixianren Pass, sent a letter asking for help from the Eagle ten days ago, but there has been no news since.
Wu Jie hurriedly asked Zhu Shengfei for instructions to send troops to support Beixianren Pass, but he had to wait six full days before getting Zhu Shengfei's approval. Wu Jie hurriedly sent his brother Wu Kuo with 6,000 troops to support Beixianren Pass, but Wu Jie had already thought about it.
I had no hope, and after wasting six days, my hope had long been dashed.
Wu Jie was really helpless. Zhu Shengfei firmly controlled the military power. Any transfer of more than 50 people must ask him for instructions. Zhu Shengfei built a military intelligence station in Dashanguan, and his confidant Fu Jingyi was in charge.
Fu Jingyi was both a liaison officer and a former military supervisor, monitoring Wu Jie's every move. If Wu Jie and others complained a little, Fu Jingyi complained to Zhu Shengfei, saying that Wu Jie was dissatisfied with the imperial court and had too much ambition.
In fact, the root cause was that Fu Jingyi repeatedly asked Wu Jie for bribes but was rejected. He harbored hatred towards the Wu Jie brothers.
In fact, Wu Jie was granted the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Yongxing Army by Emperor Zhao Gou. According to the regulations of the court, the Jiedushi Envoy could have his own army and was not subject to civilian control. This was also the reason why the Lin'an court was forced by the Song Dynasty to be destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.
Due to the severe situation, a compromise had to be made, allowing Jiedu to recruit an army to fight against the Jin soldiers, and Wu Jie could also recruit an army to fight against the Jin soldiers.
The former Xuanfu envoy Zhang Jun adopted a flexible approach. After entering the war, he temporarily authorized Wu Jie and made him fully responsible for fighting the Jin soldiers. Zhang Jun himself retreated to Chengdu and only provided logistical support.
But Zhu Shengfei did not follow the rules and completely deprived Wu Jie of the power to command the army, destroying the court's original intention of canonizing Wu Jie as the military commander of the Yongxing Army. Although Zhang Jun raised this issue to the emperor Zhao Gou several times, Zhu Shengfei's backstage
It was the Queen Mother, and with the Queen Mother supporting Zhu Shengfei, Zhao Gou had no choice but to acquiesce in Zhu Shengfei's illegal behavior.
Of course, this has something to do with Wu Jie's own weakness. If he could be as tough as Chen Qing and ignore Zhu Shengfei's tactics, Zhu Shengfei would not be able to take away his military power.
Wu Jie lost his military power and many of his subordinates were dissatisfied with him. Wu Jie was in a very embarrassing situation. He had to appease his subordinates and implement Zhu Shengfei's various unreasonable orders. It really made him difficult to deal with both ends and was exhausted.
In just six months, half of his beard and hair turned white.
At this time, some soldiers reported outside, "Xiao Wu is back."
Xiao Wu Dutong is Wu Gao, and Wu Jie is waiting for news about him!
"Let him in!"
After a while, Wu Gao quickly walked into the tent, and Wu Jie quickly asked: "How is Xianren Pass?"
"I didn't go there. I met Liu Zan who was seriously injured in Hechi County and rescued him."
"What about the pass?"
"It has been lost. Commander Pan Yue led his army to surrender to Wanyan Wushu and offered the pass."
"Bang!" Wu Jie punched the table and said angrily: "I told him that the people chosen by Fu cannot be appointed as deputy generals, but he didn't listen and said that I was jealous of the wise and capable. Now I see that Beixianren Guan has been lost.
, sooner or later we will not be able to keep the separation."
The man Wu Jie was talking about was Zhu Shengfei, the envoy of Xuanfu. A month ago, Zhu Shengfei appointed eight new commanders, six of whom were generals recommended by Fu Xuan. Pan Yue was one of them, and all the new commanders were entrusted with important tasks.
Pan Yue was appointed as the deputy general manager of Beixianren Pass and became Liu Zan's deputy general. Who would have thought that Pan Yue would surrender to the Jin soldiers in just one month.
The entire Qinling Pass is an interlocking defense system. The failure of one pass will trigger a series of chain reactions.
From the newly lost Beixianren Pass, walk 200 miles southwest to Hechi County. From Hechi County, turn around and walk about 100 miles southeast to the South Xianren Pass. This is a zigzag road, also called Qishan
road.
The key is Nanxianren Pass. Nanxianren Pass can not only go southeast to Nanzheng County, but also lead to Xingzhou. Xingzhou is the starting point of the west line of Jinniu Road. You can enter Bashu directly along the west line of Jinniu Road.
.
Obviously, Jin Bing had figured out the entire defense system of the Qinling Mountains, and Wu Jie extremely suspected that Fu Xuan had given the map to Wanyan Wushu.
Wu Jie asked urgently: "Have any troops been sent to stay in Hechi County?"
Wu Gao nodded, "I will send Yang Zheng to lead 3,000 troops to guard Hechi County."
Hechi County is also a strategic location. Going south leads to Nanxianren Pass, and taking the old road to the northeast leads to the back of Dashan Pass.
If Yang Zheng can hold Hechi County, Dashan Pass will have no worries for the time being, and Nanxianren Pass will have no problems for the time being.
But what if Yang Zheng can't hold on?
Wu Jie was extremely worried. He wanted to rush to Hanzhong immediately and report this serious incident to Zhu Shengfei in person.
........
Wanyan Wushu recently received a treasure given to him by Fu Xuan, "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan - Map of the Road to Shu".
This is not an old map from the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty, but a map of the pass deployment that Zhu Shengfei made just a month ago. How to take the routes between the passes, whether the roads can carry cavalry or baggage, and the garrison at each pass.
The number of people, the grain garrison, the situation of the generals, etc. are all clearly marked. Fu Bing even marked his confidants in each pass one by one. He can directly capture the pass through his confidants.
Wanyan Wushu was like a treasure. Not long ago, he conducted an experiment at Beixianren Pass. He ordered Han Chang, the commander of ten thousand men, to lead 10,000 troops through the West Valley to Beixianren Pass. It turned out to be effective. Deputy General Pan Yue led his army to surrender, causing the Jin soldiers to surrender.
This extremely dangerous pass was captured with the minimum cost.
Wanyan Wushu called this map the Immortal Map.
In the spacious and bright room, Wanyan Wushu stood at the table studying his immortal map. The counselor Fan Gong pointed at Hechi County to the southwest of Beixianren Pass and said with a smile: "Why doesn't the marshal take over this county? Take it.
To the north, you can attack the back of Dashan Pass, and to the south, you can capture Nanxianren Pass. Once you capture Nanxianren Pass, you don't even have to go to Hanzhong. You can go directly to Xingzhou and enter the western line of Jinniu Road. The army will kill Bashu. Maybe you can
Celebrating New Year in Chengdu.”
Wanyan Wushu smiled and said, "This is the second time that sir has reminded me, but I still stick to the original plan."
"Marshal, is it still difficult to resolve your knot?"
"Of course, if I don't seize Dashan Pass and completely defeat Wu Jie, how can I avenge the shame of the previous defeat? This time I am not in a hurry. I will take my time and take every step."
"Then when will the marshal plan to attack Dashan Pass? I think the time is ripe."
"Wait a little longer!"
Wanyan Wu said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I just received a quick message from the Wolf Lord, saying that Sa Lihe should come to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. The Wolf Lord has appointed him as the deputy marshal of the vanguard. Hey! It's just that he doesn't want me to take all the credit."
Full."
"Is this what the Capital Supervisor Army meant? I heard that he wanted to enter Shu from the east in Jingxiang, but was defeated by Chen Qing. He was the only one who resented the marshal's solo contribution, but the Wolf Lord listened to his words again."
"You are wrong. It was Lord Wolf who sent Talan to sit in Jingxiang. After I invaded Bashu, Jingxiang, Bashu will be integrated into one. I said before that Liu Yu's army was unreliable, but Talan believed in the Qi army.
How could the Qi army be Chen Qing's opponent and not end up defeated in the same way?"
"This Chen Qing's ghost is still there! Du Jianjun always encounters him wherever he goes."
Wanyan Wushu sneered and said: "It's laziness that shot itself in the foot. If he hadn't made small moves behind his back to transfer Chen Qing out of Shaanxi as a condition of negotiation, how could Chen Qing be transferred to Huguang?"
?To be honest, I really hope that Chen Qing will also come to Dasanguan this time, so that he can have a good taste of my iron fist!"
